A communication has been published
from Berlin, which comes from an anthem
tic source, and asserts that war between
Germany and France is regarded more
probable at Berlin than would be inferred
IRON the information accessible to the
public. 1t is said to come from Bismarck
himself, that there is ample authentic evil
denco that Gen. Boulauger is persuaded
that France will be prepared in 1888 to
enter unaided into a great and decisive
struggle. If Russia, however, should speed
lily take action, or il all outbreak should
occur in the Balkans, there was evidence
that Gen. Boulanger contemplated a cam
paign against Germany within a few
months. The communication concludes:
President Grevy and Prime Minister Cob
let both unsuccessfully have tried to re-
the military affairs of France. The MAIN
tenance OF peace much depends on Gen.
Boulanger's removal.

The Proposals.,

It happened at a hotel not far from
tho Treasury building. He was a man
of serious intentions and numerous at
tentions, and she was rich and wedda-
Bile. Monday night he was there, and
they sat in the hall under the stairway.
1t was a nook for lovers. There wasn'.
q soal in sight. and lie thought his gold

Hoped on his knees and clasped her
hand.
Dear one" he whispered, not very
loud, but loud enough, Il have loved
YOU with the whole strength and ardor
of u mans nature, when it is reused by
All that is pure, good and lovely in
woman, and I can nc longer restrain
my pent-up feelings. I must tell you
what is in my heart and tell you that
never yet has woman heard from my
lips the secrets that are throbblng
and"
just then a rustic was heard on the
stairs above them, and a card fastened
to thread swung down and dangled
not two inches from the lovers nose.
On ittwere these p%ortentious words: Il
am something of liar myself. Then
the awful truth flashed upon him, and
The fled. AS he went out the door, six
teen girls at the head Of the stairs sent
sixteen laughs out into the damp night
;air after him. He makes no love in
hotels now. Washington Critic.

The Effects Of Mental Exhaustion.

Many diseases, especially those OF the nervous
system, are the products Of daily renewed men
tai exhaustion. Business avocations often in
volve all amount of mental wear and tear very
prejudicial to physical health, and the profess
sions, if %arduously pursued, are no less de struc-
tive to brain and nerve tissue. 1t is one of the
most important attributes of Hostetter's Stom-
ach Bitters. that it compensates for this undue
loss of tissue, and thatit imparts new energy to
the brain and nerves. The rapidity with which
it renews weakened mental energy and physical
vitality is remarkable, and shows that it's invig-
Grating properties are of the highest order. Be
sides increasing vital stamina, and counterfeit
ing the effects Of mental exhaustion, this poten-
tial medicine cures and prevents fever and ague
rheumatism, chronic dyspepsia and constipa-
ton, kidney and uterine weakness and other
complaints. Physicians also commend it as a
medicated stimulent and remedy.

Austrian Military Music.

The Austrian martial music is the most
inspiring in the world. I say this with
the full remembrance of having seen and
heard, in the year "a, Massachusetts,
regiment, 1900 strong, marching to the
strains of "John Browns Body Lies
Moldering in the Ground" and singing,
too, Mrs. Julia Ward Howe's superb
paraphrase of that peculiar lyric; and at
the time thought l had never listened to
anything finer.
But, on reflection, the palm, I should
say, must be awarded to the Tedeschi.
Their bands seem to discourse the tune
fulness of Mozart allied with the spright-
illness of Strauss, and one of the few and
inf1nitesimally small things that make the
friend of Italy regret the liberation of
Venice from the Austrian yoke is the dis
appearance of the Austrian military bands
from the Piazza San Marco. What de-
licious marches and retreats" the Greats
and the Hungarians used to play! what
prodigious "swells'' were the Kaiser's
officers in their white tunics, their GRIM
son pantaloons and their white kid gloves!
and what famous times one used to have
at the Cafe F1orian listening to the inter-
lopers' music over granite ice that cost
twopence halfpenny and virginia"

Snaed of q Fast Train,

Speed is hard to average. The 60 and
rs miles an hour train Is generally a
myth. An average of 48 $40 per hour is
the fastest time in the United States. This
is made on the Pennsylvania 'limited'' in
its run from Jersey City to Philadelphia,
80 miles, in less than two hours. The
'F1ying Dutchman" train Is supposed to
make the fastest time in the world, be-
tween London and Bristol, 118 Ia miles,
in less than two hours. The average,
though, Of even this fast train is only
SO 1-8 miles per hour. There are several
other trains noted for remarkably fast
time on short distances. Sometimes a
straight and even grade for distance of
20 miles will permit train to run at the
rate of more than mile minute. One
train on the Canadian Pacific road, from
Cotaneau to Ottawa, averages so miles an
hour for distance of IS miles. On the
Central road the late Mr.. Vanderbilt
travelled at the rate of 80 miles an hour.
An average of SO 1-2 miles an hour is con-
sidered fast travelling. Many Of the
limited, lightning expresses do not go at a
faster rate. The value of railroads in the
United States exceeds $4,000, 600, 000.-
